Food for Thought

Intemperantia Chocolates

You are what you eat. And you happen to think of yourself as fabulous, unique, and irresistible.

So Intemperantia chocolates must be for your kind.

Made in Switzerland, they contain only the best ingredients: 100 percent cocoa butter (instead of oil) and top-quality cocoa, liquors, nuts, and creams.

Options include a large variety of truffles (dark chocolate shell filled with whipped caramel, white chocolate shell with dark chocolate and cognac filling, or very dark chocolate with a touch of champagne), pralines (French cream covered with dark chocolate, cream mixed with dark chocolate and crushed nougatine, or pistachio paste over dark chocolate), and specialties (like chocolate-covered almonds and English toffee).

And though you won’t want to subsist entirely on them, a few now and then can’t hurt: Cocoa contains flavonoids, which prevent heart attacks and strokes, and has more antioxidants than green tea.

Delicious and healthy?

Here’s to the new and improved you.
